To me the poet has a lost soul
whom finds their place in words of gold
never leaving the past behind
the soul spins words with reason or rhyme
Poetry means so many things
once loved... never loved... or something in between
the letting of words, of laughter and tears
the comfort of it's ghost and concerning fears
Poetry's more than food for the soul
it gives, or it takes, depending on the ink that flows
moving words with paper and pen
words of love, hate, religion or sin
So
This is what poetry means to me
you see it's saved my life
one million times... times three
without paper or pen where would we be
lost forever in an uncertain world
known as the lost sea
